Highlights

Columbia River Gorge - Millions of years ago, during the formation of the Cascade Mountain Range, lava and other pyroclastic matter flowed west from what would be the Cascades all the way to the Pacific Ocean, creating a thick shell of basalt rock that covered Western Oregon. Then, during the Pleistocene Ice Age, roughly 15,000 years ago, water from the Lake Missoula Flood carved out the Columbia River Gorge as hundreds of cubic miles of water, ice, rock and mud rushed from present-day Montana to the Pacific Ocean. Explore the beauty of the canyon walls and rock formations, breathtaking waterfalls and awe-inspiring visas that make the Columbia River National Scenic Area one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon. Our enthusiastic guides will introduce you to the most amazing places in the Gorge, while providing a comprehensive narrative of this spectacular landscape and its transformative history.

Wonderful tour with brilliant driver and guide - I think the whole tour was very well planned and our guide + driver was very knowledgeable as well as had sense of humor. While the natural beauty on the trip was mesmerizing, it was enhanced with the presence of the guide.

Worth it! - Phil was very knowledgeable and accommodating, it was a great experience. So glad we joined his tour group, it was less hassle than doing it ourselves and we covered quite a bit of places within one afternoon.

Great waterfall tour! - Our tour guide Phil was great. Super knowledgeable and friendly. It was Nice to be picked up at my hotel. The access to the waterfalls was pretty seamless. For the most part he parked right at the bottom and you had great views. The only reason I gave it a 4 is that I would have preferred to have a little more time to hike around, but I guess that’s a different tour. Overall very good especially for those that just want to see beautiful waterfalls.
